I wish I had been able to pick one up at this price. I saw this thread to late unfortunately.

Got mine today. Never received an email or shipping notice. Charging now.

Just saw 2 doe in my yard !

I agree. I glad to have it. Before i bought my rattler a couple months ago, i hadnt had any experience with thermals. Ive looked through a few now and the rattler v2 256 appears to be the best deal for the money. Except this $499 flir.

Curiosity was getting the best of me so I tested mine out with an external battery to check the image quality. I'm satisfied. It holds up well to digital zoom with the 640 sensor and the image quality is certainly decent. The Burris scope I have is much more adjustable in regard to color palates and contrast, but the FLIR is entirely satisfactory for my use. Let's face it, technology changes fast and the Burris is newer. The Burris also has a 50mm lens with a native magnification of 3.3x so this is an apples to oranges comparison. I'm gonna love the FLIR scanner and will hopefully get much use out of it. Solid buy for sure.

Did anyone hear back from the company regarding the replacement with the 10% off? I know someone earlier had asked for a different replacement, curious if they took the bait...

Hard to judge in my heavily wooded neighborhood. I looked down the street and felt good about it. I’ll try to get over a hay field soon and see how it looks

I asked if the 640 model was available and they said no, only the 320.

Played with mine this morning since it was still charging as I went to bed. No long range testing but my dog lit up and was very bright and well defined imaging of my yard and surroundings. Zoom worked well. This will come in handy from time to time.

Thanks RidgeRanger for the heads-up!! Much appreciated!

yessir. I never would have even considered buying something like this at regular price. Im just too cheap. Nice toy at a great price. Thanks

I haven’t heard back. Probably won’t.
Just so y’all know, my dad ordered one and was charged even though it was on back order. He didn’t want the scout 3 and asked for a refund. They charged him again instead of refunding and he was having a little trouble getting in touch with them yesterday. I’m hoping they make this right. They are about to get a call from his bank and hopefully that’s as far as it has to go.

Glad y'all both grabbed one in time! A good chunk of aldeer is now thermal equipped (on more thermal equipped). That's a good thing, not just for fun but because of the deteriorating world we live in. The handheld units should be handy for everything from security to helping find the neighbor's lost dog.

My order was confirmed but shows a weird page now when I click on the “view order confirmation page” about downloading digital order. Any back order folks seeing this? Got a feeling I am SOL….

I left early Monday morning. Got my wife to charge. Got back last night and went out and was looking at the dogs in pen when a deer snorted at us about 150 yards. Zoomed in on her and painter her red. I'm impressed with the quality.

It looks like the FLIR Scout III is back in stock now if anybody is interested. I believe it is a 320 resolution, 60hz unit for $549.

I got there too late for the really good one, but got a Scout III. Most impressed.

Glad to hear that you got one. The Scout III should serve well. My guess is that its the exact same unit as the LSXR except the exterior color and sensor resolution. It will probably perform the same except maybe the digital zoom may get pixelated earlier. Neither provides the wow factor image quality of more current units but they are a heck of a deal at this price point.

Out of stock again

Not only is it out of stock, they appear to be gone for good. They nuked the Scout III page like they did the LS series when the stock was depleted.

I had seen the scout iii page disappear once already then it came back for a few days. May be worth keeping an eye on for those that still want one.
